Nomery 11
1 Ary dia nitaraim-pahoriana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ny olona, ary nony ren’ i Jehovah izany, dia nirehitra ny fahatezerany, ary ny afon’ i Jehovah nandoro azy, ka may ny teo an-tsisin’ ny toby.
Now the people complained about their troubles as Yahweh listened. Yahweh heard the people and became angry. Fire from Yahweh burned among them and consumed some of the camp on its edges.
2 Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Mosesy ny olona; ary Mosesy nifona tamin’ i Jehovah, dia maty ny afo.
Then people called out to Moses, so Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire stopped.
3 Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataony hoe Tabera, satria nandoro azy ny afon’ i Jehovah.
That place was named Taberah, because Yahweh's fire burned among them.
4 Ary ny olona hafa firenena izay niharo taminy dia liana, ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely koa dia nitomany indray hoe: Enga anie ka hisy hanome hena hohaninay!
Some foreign people began to camp with Israel's descendants. They wanted better food to eat. Then the people of Israel began to weep and say, “Who will give us meat to eat?
5 Tsaroanay ny hazandrano izay nohaninay, maimaim-poana tany Egypta mbamin’ ny voatango sy tongolo samy hafa karazana.
We remember the fish that we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.
6 Fa izao dia maina ny ainay: tsy misy na inona na inona eto imasonay afa-tsy ny mana ihany.
Now our appetite is gone, because all we can see is this manna.”
7 Ary ny mana dia toy ny voan-drafy, ary ny tarehiny dia tahaka ny tarehin’ ny bedola.
Manna was like coriander seed. It looked like resin.
8 Nandehandeha ny olona ka nanangona azy, dia nitoto azy tamin’ ny fikosoham-bary na tamin’ ny laona, ary nahandro azy tamin’ ny vilany, dia nanao mofo azy; ary ny fanandramana azy dia tahaka ny fanandramana mofo misy diloilo.
The people walked around and gathered it. They ground it in mills, beat it in mortars, boiled it in pots, and made it into cakes. It tasted like fresh olive oil.
9 Ary raha nilatsaka tamin’ ny toby ny ando nony alina, dia nilatsaka koa niaraka taminy ny mana.
When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna also fell.
10 Ary Mosesy nandre ny olona nitomany tamin’ ny isam-pianakaviany, samy teo amin’ ny varavaran’ ny lainy avy; dia nirehitra fatratra ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah; ary tsy sitrak’ i Mosesy koa izany.
Moses heard the people weeping in their families, and every man was at the entrance to his tent. Yahweh was very angry, and in Moses' eyes their complaining was wrong.
11 Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah: Nahoana no dia nasianao ratsy ny mpanomponao? ary nahoana no tsy nahita fitia eo imasonao aho, ka nampitondrainao enta-mavesatra, dia ity firenena rehetra ity?
Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why are you not pleased with me? You make me carry the load of all these people.
12 Izaho va no torontoronina an’ ity firenena rehetra ity? ary izaho va no niteraka azy, no ilazanao hoe: Trotroinao izy, tahaka ny ray mpitaiza mitondra ny zaza minono, ho any amin’ ny tany izay nianiananao tamin’ ny razany homena azy?
Did I conceive all these people? Have I given them birth so that you should say to me, 'Carry them closely to your chest as a father carries a baby?' Should I carry them to the land that you swore to their ancestors to give them?
13 Avy aiza no hahazoako hena homena ity firenena rehetra ity, no dia mitomany amiko izy manao hoe: Omeo hena izahay hohaninay?
Where can I find meat to give to all this people? They are weeping in front of me and are saying, 'Give us meat to eat.'
14 Tsy zakako izaho irery ny mitondra ity firenena rehetra ity, fa mavesatra amiko loatra.
I cannot bear all these people alone. They are too much for me.
15 Koa raha izao no ataonao amiko, masìna Hianao, vonoy mihitsy aho, raha nahita fitia eo imasonao; fa aza avela hahita ny fahoriako aho.
Since you are treating me this way, kill me now—if I find favor in your eyes—do not let me see my misery.”
16 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Manangòna fito-polo lahy amin’ ny loholon’ ny Isiraely ho etỳ amiko, dia izay fantatrao ho loholona amin’ ny fireneny sy mpifehy azy; ary ento miaraka aminao ho ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana izy.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Bring to me seventy of Israel's elders. Be sure that they are elders and officers of the people. Bring them to the tent of meeting to stand there with you.
17 Dia hidina Aho ka hiteny aminao eo; ary Izaho haka amin’ ny Fanahy Izay ao aminao ka hametraka izany ao amin’ ireo, ary hiara-mitondra ity firenena ity aminao ireo, fa tsy ianao irery intsony no hitondra azy.
I will come down and talk with you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will bear the burden of the people with you. You will not have to bear it alone.
18 Koa lazao amin’ ny olona hoe: Manamasìna ny tenanareo ho amin’ ny ampitso, dia hihinan-kena ianareo; fa nitomany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ianareo ka nanao hoe: Enga anie ka hisy hanome hena hohaninay! fa soa no hitanay tany Egypta; dia homen’ i Jehovah hena ianareo, ka hohaninareo.
Say to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow and you will indeed eat meat, for you have wept and Yahweh has heard. You said, “Who will give us meat to eat? It was good for us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you will eat it.
19 Tsy indray andro no hihinananareo na indroa andro, na hadimiana, na hafoloana, na roa-polo andro aza,
You will not eat meat for only one day, two days, five days, ten days, or twenty days,
20 fa hatramin’ ny iray volana mipaka, dia mandra-pivoakany amin’ ny vavoronareo ka haharikoriko anareo; satria nolavinareo Jehovah, Izay eo aminareo, ka nitomany teo anatrehany ianareo nanao hoe: Nahoana re no nivoaka avy tany Egypta izahay?
but you will eat meat for a whole month until it comes out of your nostrils. It will disgust you because you have rejected Yahweh, who is among you. You have wept before him. You said, “Why did we leave Egypt?”'”
21 Dia hoy Mosesy: Ny olona izay itoerako dia lehilahy enina hetsy izay mahalia lalana; ary hoy ianao: Homeko hena izy mba hohaniny mandritra ny iray volana.
Then Moses said, “I am with 600,000 people, and you have said, 'I will give them meat to eat for a whole month.'
22 Moa ondry aman’ osy sy omby va no hovonoina ho azy hahavoky azy? sa ny hazandrano rehetra ao amin’ ny ranomasina no hangonina ho azy hahavoky azy?
Should we kill flocks and herds to satisfy them? Should we catch all the fish in the sea to satisfy them?”
23 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Nihafohy va ny tànan’ i Jehovah? ankehitriny dia ho hitanao na ho tanteraka aminao ny teniko, na tsia.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Is my hand short? Now you will see whether or not my word is true.”
24 Dia nivoaka Mosesy ka nilaza ny tenin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny olona; dia nanangona fito-polo lahy tamin’ ny loholon’ ny firenena izy ka nampitoetra azy manodidina ny trano-lay.
Moses went out and told the people Yahweh's words. He gathered seventy of the people's elders and positioned them around the tent.
25 Ary nidina teo amin’ ny rahona Jehovah ka niteny taminy, dia nangalany ny Fanahy izay tao amin’ i Mosesy ka napetrany tao amin’ ny loholona fito-polo lahy; ary raha mbola nitoetra tao aminy ny Fanahy, dia naminany izy, nefa tsy nanao intsony.
Yahweh came down in the cloud and spoke to Moses. Yahweh took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but only on that occasion and not again.
26 Fa nisy roa lahy nijanona teo an-toby, Eldada no anaran’ ny anankiray, ary Medada no anaran’ ny anankiray; ary ny Fanahy nitoetra tao aminy; ary isan’ izay voasoratra izy roa lahy, nefa tsy mba nankeo amin’ ny trano-lay; dia naminany teo an-toby izy roa lahy.
Two men remained in the camp, named Eldad and Medad. The Spirit also rested on them. Their names were written on the list, but they had not gone out to the tent. Nevertheless, they prophesied in the camp.
27 Ary nisy zatovo nihazakazaka, dia nilaza tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Eldada sy Medada maminany etsy an-toby.
A young man in the camp ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 Dia namaly Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, izay nanompo an’ i Mosesy hatry ny fony tanora, ka nanao hoe: Ry Mosesy, tompoko, rarao izy roa lahy.
Joshua son of Nun, Moses' assistant, one of his chosen men, said to Moses, “My master Moses, stop them.”
29 Fa hoy Mosesy taminy: Izaho va no ialonanao? enga anie ka ho mpaminany avokoa ny olon’ i Jehovah rehetra, ka halatsak’ i Jehovah aminy ny Fanahiny!
Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all of Yahweh's people were prophets and that he would put his Spirit on them all!”
30 Dia nankeo an-toby Mosesy sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely.
Then Moses and the elders of Israel went back to the camp.
31 Ary nisy rivotra nivoaka avy tamin’ i Jehovah ka nitondra papelika avy tany amin’ ny ranomasina ary nampihahakahaka azy teny amin’ ny toby, ka tokony ho lalana indray andro manodidina ny toby no nisy azy, ary tokony ho roa hakiho ambonin’ ny tany izy.
Then a wind came from Yahweh and brought quail from the sea. They fell near the camp, about a day's journey on one side and a day's journey on the other side. The quail surrounded the camp about two cubits above the ground.
32 Dia nitsangana ny olona nandritra izany andro izany sy nandritra ny alina sy ny ampitson’ iny koa ka nanangona ny papelika; ary izay kely fanangona no folo homera; ary nahahiny ho maina ireny manodidina ny toby.
The people were busy gathering quail all that day, all the night, and all the next day. No one gathered less than ten homers of quail. They shared the quail all through the camp.
33 Fa raha mbola teo am-bavany ny hena ka tsy mbola lany, dia nirehitra tamin’ ny olona ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ary namely ny olony tamin’ ny kapoka mafy indrindra Izy.
While the meat was still between their teeth, while they were chewing it, Yahweh became angry at them. He attacked the people with a very great disease.
34 Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany nataony hoe: Kibrota-hatava, satria teo no nandevenana ny olona izay liana.
That place was named Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved meat.
35 Ary niala tao Kibrota-hatava ny olona ka nifindra nankany Hazerota; dia nitoetra tany Hazerota izy.
From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth, where they stayed.
